Anyone Else Up There? Skit

This Skit is meant for Boy Scouts, Webelos scouts. Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

Required:

3 scouts

Preparation:

Largest scout stands center stage with arms raised like a tree.

Script:

Scout enters stage, pretending to drive a car real fast. He swerves around, drives over a cliff, falling, falling, ... and then jumps onto the tree and hangs on tight.

Scout : Oh no, my car is totalled 500 feet down there in that canyon. I was sure lucky this tree was growing out of the side of the cliff. The road isn't too far up there. But, there's no way I can climb that cliff.

Scout : Man, my arms are getting tired. (squirm on the tree)

Scout : Help! Heeeelp! Is anyone up there?

Scout : Help! Heeeelp! Is anyone up there? My arms are killing me. (squirm around on the tree)

Deep Offstage Voice: I am here. I am God and I will help you.

Scout : Cool! What are you going to do? I can't hold on much longer.

God: Let go of the tree.

Scout : What?!? I'll fall 500 feet and splatter all over the rocks.

God: Do you believe in me?

Scout : Well, sure.

God: Then you have nothing to fear. Let go of the tree and I will save you.
